Well hydrostream is ready to hit the water this weekend. Just had a few last setup questions. It is a 20 ft vulture with just two seats and the gas tank. 1989 gt150 Johnson 25 pitch 4 blade shooter prop. 6 inch manual jackplate.
My question is on motor height. I don't have a low water pickup on it yet. I have the prop shaft set about 5 inches below the pad right now. Just wondering if that is a good place to start or if I will not get enough water to the pickups. Should I just epoxy the top two inlets to start with? I have a water pressure guage and it has a fresh impeller.
Any advise would be great.
